A growing number of second- and later-generation family businesses are establishing family offices designed to make it easier for owners to fulfil the tasks and obligations of managing family assets and family businesses. In order to increase efficiency and reduce costs, many resort to the services of so-called multi-family offices, which solve the problems of several families at once. Of course, each family has different needs. The skill of an experienced consultant is to take into account these differences in conducting various operations on behalf of their customers.
Family offices help family members manage their assets, take care of maintaining positive relationships between family members, and develop a strategy for increasing wealth and success of family businesses. We help family offices by dealing with the routine and taking on the full range of functions of their back office.
